<br>
There a couple of things strange here:<br>
<br>
1. I have to put origination_caller_id_number inside data field of &quot;bridge&quot; application in order for the dialing out to happen.  Why putting it outside as channel variable does not work?<br>
<br>
2. Actually because bridge command is for leg-B, really it should be &quot;effective_caller_id_number&quot; not &quot;origination_caller_id_number&quot;.  Is that right?<br>
<br>
I&#39;m using IDT express as SIP carrier. I don&#39;t know if they changed something or I changed configuration in freeswitch. Now it seems I have to set origination_caller_id_number if I want to use IDT for outbound calls.<br>



<br>
I&#39;d really appreciate your help.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
